I was doing the promotion for Moon in LA at the same time that Tony Scott was there with [The Taking of] Pelham 123. But obviously he was so concentrating on his own film that he didn't even know I was doing a feature film.

I'm a cruel man to myself.
Duncan Jones
Here in the UK the audience immediately reacts and they get the fact that: What would be the most annoying thing in the world? A Chesney Hawkes alarm clock!
Duncan Jones
I played lots of games and I was a fan of gaming, so I was always looking for new games.

I do enjoy the puzzle-solving aspect of making a movie.

When we first made this whole idea this was going to be calling card film [Moon] and it was going to give the opportunity to make my first feature film. But it turned out a lot better, we just couldn't stop ourselves from going into it, and we are very proud that it turned into something that people wanted to see.
Duncan Jones
I think we tried to make a film [Moon] that was about human beings as opposed to going from one special effects set piece to the next one, which is what a lot of science fiction films these days do.
Duncan Jones
I want to have the illegitimate child of independent film making and the budget to make it. That's my aspiration.
Duncan Jones
Every film I try and make it the way I see it in my head, and it really just depends on the script and the people I'm working with or whatever interests me at that particular time.

Hopefully, if I have done my job right, people will want to know and see more! There is certainly plenty more to tell. I would love to be part of that process of expanding on the lore that makes up Warcraft, but it will all depend on what you, the audience, think of our first film!

Bill Pearson is definitely a man to talk to, especially in the afternoon when he's had a couple of drinks because he's got so many stories and anecdotes.
Duncan Jones
One of the biggest changes for me on a practical level of shooting the film was having a second unit.
Duncan Jones
I've worked really hard to build up a career on my own. I turned 30 recently and it took me a long time to get the chance to make a feature film and do it on my own terms.
Duncan Jones
Every time you want to reset your set and pull walls out and reset the lighting, you're burning up half an hour to an hour, and when you're trying to keep to a schedule, you're constantly having to reassess what's worth it and what you're going to have to give up in order to keep on schedule.
Duncan Jones
You do look at a lot of movies and many characters seem to be interchangeable.
Duncan Jones
Fantasy films tend to skew towards what Tolkien fantasy was, which is that the humans, the Hobbits and the cute creatures are the good guys, and everything that's ugly are the bad guys.
Duncan Jones
There are things which need to be shown in the trailer in order to let the audience know what kind of film it is that they're going to be expecting to see.
Duncan Jones
And as a first time director I needed to work with someone that I felt comfortable with, and that I could get along with. It was a perfect match [with Sam Rockwell] I am so thrilled I got to work with him. He is a really nice and incredible guy.
Duncan Jones
Life and career kind of catches up with you.
Duncan Jones
I've been working my way to doing my first feature film for about ten years. So I went through the commercials route and some people come from a theatrical background and some people come from a writing background, but I directed commercials
Duncan Jones
I'm not Akira Kurosawa. He used to write...He used to write a completely new spec script over a couple of nights. I'm not like that. It takes me a long time to put a film together that I want to make.
